After the crazy Balaclutha experience, dinner at B After the crazy Balaclutha experience, dinner at Barrio was just the thing. Beyond grateful for the heat lamps which buffeted the sea breeze. Ghirardelli was JAMMING. So happy to see the local businesses getting normal action. What doom loop?

I was invited to be an extra in Torreya Cummings’ film, Barbary Coast Keelhaul. There wasn’t much for me to do aboard The Balaclutha, a full-rigged ship built in 1886 to move grain or salmon or lumber from one Pacific place to another. Ergo, an amazing sunset picture.

Second image is Dungeness crab on endive which was my favorite of the evening.
The team and space are still coming together. There were a few bumps. The views of Mt Tam are lovely. The bar was as busy as the lounge areas. Bring a sweater to ward off fog breezes at dusk.

Seafood cocktails are trending. I experienced Hog Seafood cocktails are trending. I experienced Hog Island’s take in Larkspur. It’s made with Gray Whale Gin (see profile link for my story about @graywhalegin for @ediblemarinwc) and Hog Island’s own seaweed. That’s roe atop a lemon rind cushion and an oyster is frozen in the ice cube. Delicious.

I’m sure all y’all already know this but Jerse I’m sure all y’all already know this but Jersey has a burgeoning food scene AND Anthony Bourdain grew up two towns over from where I grew up (Leona/ Tenafly). I’m always thrilled when I find local products while I’m in-state. At the Closter Whole Foods, I found not only Jersey peaches (the BEST—sorry, Georgia, your winters aren’t cold enough for complex flavor development in stone fruit) but locally-made BBQ sauce. Yay, Jersey!
